Peter Linde Busk (b. 1973, Copenhagen, Denmark; lives and works in Stevns/Copenhagen, Denmark) works across a wide variety of mediums ranging from paintings and mosaics to wood relief collages and ceramic sculptures. Busk’s work is sincerely concerned with detritus: the literal, cultural and societal. He channels ancient Spolia architecture, where unneeded buildings or monuments were demolished and repurposed for the construction of new patchwork structures. As a result, studies, broken fragments, cuttings and other leftovers from his studio are masterfully reincorporated into his completed work. He constantly sees value in the remnants of material (i.e., wood pieces, cardboard, paper, print and color tests) others would toss aside. This approach creates parameters and constraints, while also reflecting the nature of his subjects.
He holds a BFA from The Slade School of Fine Art, University College London and participated in an exchange at Hunter College of Art, New York. Busk also studied at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf and holds an MFA from The Royal Academy of Arts, London.
Busk has been exhibiting at the Gallery since 2014. He has had solo exhibitions at the Holstebro Kunstmuseum, Denmark (2023); Josh Lilley Gallery, London, UK (2022); Galleri Bo Bjerggaard, Copenhagen, Denmark (2020); and Borchs Butik, Copenhagen, Denmark (2019). He has also been included in group exhibitions at Den Frie Udstillingsbygning, Copenhagen, Denmark (2021); Over The Influence, Los Angeles (201); and Saatchi Gallery, London, UK (2019).
